Answer 1

If a letter is drawn from the letters of English alphabet, then the probability, that it is a letter of the word ‘DELHI’ is \[\underline{\boldsymbol{\frac{5}{26}}}\].

Explanation:

No. of letters in english alphabet = 26

Letters in the word ‘DELHI’ are ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘L’, ‘H’, ‘I’.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 5

P(drawing a letter of the word 'DELHI') \[{} = \frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{5}{26}.\]
